Voting Red again will get us all more #AI #DataCenters, more #defunded law enforcement (i.e. #bureaucracy & #regulation) for more #GovernmentFailure like #cyclosporinea #DiarrheaLettuce, more #tariffs, more #ICE chasing children (and shooting citizens protesting and detaining legals & citizens in #ConcentrationCamps and monitoring everyone's every move with #Flock cameras and more), blowing up fishermen for foreign dictator vassals, #bullying our faithful free friends, and starting more stupid #ForeverWars.
datacenters
Grâce au photographe Stephen Voss, nous avons des images de la contruction du Datacenter Stargate d'OpenAI, à Abilene, au Texas.
Hyperion's name comes from two Greek words that together mean "watcher from above" or "he who goes above".
Hyperion was a Titan, the ancient Greek gods that preceded the Olympian gods like Zeus, Athena, etc. Prometheus, Atlas, and the word Titan itself are frequently used to name tech projects. A fun web search is "COMPANY_NAME Titan"; try it. It seems lost on these folks that the Titans were deposed by the Olympian gods and condemned to an eternity in Tartarus, a kind of hell. In other words they're the loser gods, if you want to be simplistic and vulgar about it.
It is believed that one of Hyperion's offspring, Helios, as well as all of Helios's offspring, were imagined as being black-skinned.
My wife, who is a classicist, and I regularly shake our heads about the names of tech projects like this. I always ask her for the dirt on the name, and she always delivers (as in the above, which I credit to her).

Microsoft Corp. has walked away from new data center projects in the US and Europe that would have amounted to a capacity of about 2 gigawatts of electricity, according to TD Cowen analysts, who attributed the pullback to an oversupply of the clusters of computers that power artificial intelligence.

"New servers are less energy-intensive." Really? 🤔
This is said so often that it could almost be taken as an absolute truth.
By extension, it is often said that each new generation of hardware consumes less energy than the previous one.
Manufacturers communicate pretty often about this, including HPE (1), Nvidia (2), etc..
A 🧵
What is the footprint of a datacenter on global warming ? on minerals depletion ? on air quality ?
Those are some of the the root questions we need to answer to better grasp the actual footprint of tech infrastructures, including genAI, cloud services, and so on.
Life Cycle Assessment is an important methodology that enables to assess this footprint on multiple environmental criteria.
Aproveitando que tem uma galera chegando por aqui vou fazer minha #apresentacao para expandir nossas redes e conexões genuínas
Sou pesquisador de temas relacionados à #governancadainternet, o uso de redes e plataformas do #fediverso em instituições públicas para criarmos e/ou fortalecer nossa #soberaniadigital. Sobre esse tema, já no @nudecri estamos experimentando com uma instância própria aqui no Mastodon e no #peertube na procura de divulgar e comunicar ciência de forma autônoma e fora das plataformas das #bigtechs e vem dando muito certo. Já temos vários pesquisadores, pesquisadoras e estudantes do núcleo por aqui, assim como também, os principais veículos do Labjor como a revista @comciencia e o podcast @oxigenio. Também acabei de lançar um blog, @EloJornalismo para divulgar os avanços desse projeto.
Então se você tiver interesse nesses temas já segue a gente e bora trocar ideias para fortalecer a divulgação da ciência por aqui
Além desses temas de pesquisa, também toco temas sobre #datacenters e seus impactos socioambientais. Tem esse relatório que fiz pro IDEC: https://idec.org.br/pdf/idec_estudo-nao-somos-quintal-de-data-centers.pdf
Recomendo também dar uma olhada no último episódio que saio no @oxigenio sobre o tema.
Também estou começando uma carreira como jornalista especializado em comunicação da ciência no Labjor/Unicamp, então você vai ver bastante coisa sobre isso por aqui.
Gosto também de falar sobre #cinema #series e #musica, por isso participo nas #tercinema e #musiquinta.
Dito isso, fica a vontade de me chamar para trocar ideias nesse bonito espaço que estamos fortalecendo juntos dia após dia. 
I wish every AI activity had compulsory information along these lines attached:
This request required this much energy to be completed. Plus monthly reports for every account.
We know the CO2 equivalent of our travels, this should be much easier to do
Fruit d'un peu plus d'1 an de travail avec Lorraine de Montenay, Cécile Diguet et Eric Fourboul, je suis fier de la sortie de cette étude, pour le compte de l'Ademe !
Inventário de Candidatos comprometidos com a #SoberaniaDigital :
Matheus Gomes (PSOL-RS), deputado e pré-candidato à reeleição para Deputado Estadual no RS. Além de liderança no movimento negro, comprou a briga sobre a instalação de datacenter hiperescala em Eldorado do Sul, no pedaço da cidade que não alugou.
Vem fazendo um debate qualificado nessa área.
En Málaga ya conocen la gentrificación, por eso tuvieron claro que tenían que levantarse contra los #CentrosdeDatos que aparecían en su territorio.
El proyecto de Saltburn Holding, administrada por los hermanos Benjumea tiene un consumo de energía atroz, ya que su consumo alrededor del 51% del consumo eléctrico anual del municipio de Málaga

"For anti-data center activists there will be victories and losses but a coalition is taking shape, one that cuts across party lines and has people engaging with politics on a local level in a way that hasn’t been seen in decades."

"Join moderator Dr. Meredith D. Clark alongside panelists KeShaun Pearson and KD Minor as they discuss their organizing efforts in Tennessee, Louisiana, and other southern states.
KD and KeShaun will discuss their work advocating on behalf of local communities against the environmental pollution, utility disruptions, and other health risks caused by the building and maintenance of infrastructure powering AI innovation."

This video's about a recent data center heist and how the public seems to be cheering for the thieves, due to the universal anger with data centers.

"Communities across the US are winning against environmental racism.
In Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and more, residents are packing council meetings, collecting signatures, and using their collective power to push back against destructive AI data centers. Our future will be written by us, not tech profits."

"While much of the economic value generated by AI remains concentrated in technological centres such as Silicon Valley, many of its environmental and social costs are in these territories."

On parle beaucoup des #datacenters mais quid des données utilisées ? 🤔
Hubblo lance #DCWatch: un projet de recherche collaborative et ouverte et une base de données, ouverte, gratuite, auditable et mise à jour régulièrement, comprenant des données sur les sujets essentiels à la prospective, la stratégie, l'analyse et l'évaluation d'empreinte des datacenters.
La carte des données collectées pour la France, le Benelux et la Suisse (pour le moment): https://datacenters.hubblo.org
honestly i welcome the data center lobby just openly saying climate goals needed to be trashed so the tech industry can build ai — intense heat waves, record forest fires, worsening natural disasters be damned

É proibido imaginar? Só pode repetir o modelo dos outros?
Enquanto o pragmatismo conformista nos paralisa, há demandas reprimidas na rede federal de educação no que diz respeito às infraestruturas digitais.
Daí minha inquietação sobre como situar os Institutos Federais no debate sobre Soberania Tecnológica?
A resposta parece estar na própria base conceitual dessa nova institucionalidade, já que ela trata da Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia construída a partir dos arranjos produtivos, sociais e culturais locais como ação contra-cíclica a um efeito interno do capitalismo periférico e dependente: a profunda desigualdade regional.
A resposta também pode estar numa noção de tecnologia não como uma espécie de commoditie, mas por uma função produtiva situada no território.
Não precisamos de um Ifood explorando trabalhadores entregadores, restaurantes e clientes. Cada cidade e contexto pode ter suas plataformas, desenvolvidas e mantidas por seus cidadãos, fazendo a mediação tecnológica com justiça, sendo reconhecidas antes de tudo como bem comuns digitais.
My newest article about #AI #datacenters and the growing movement against them that will impact the #midterms in the #USA. One crucial factor is the lies about water usage and so much more. Have fun!
